The red fire has made the house not cold, and the fish and meat for dinner still have the smell of fish, and they are full of food and drink without freezing, and in this comfortable environment, it should be easy to sleep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the subtle sound of work coming from outside the door from time to time still made Zhao Shuo toss and turn, and it was difficult to sleep.

He knew very well that this was the people working overnight, Zhao Shuo got up several times and walked to the door, but after reaching out and touching the door, he still returned to the bed.

He is no longer the student of international finance and trade, but a prince. After all, an illegitimate prince is also a prince.

Since he is a prince, he must do what a prince should do, as the so-called, those who are in his position seek his own government.

What he wants to do now is to change the fate of the people of the whole province, so that they can follow him and reach the peak of their lives.

If he goes out to work with them, these subordinates will definitely be at a loss, after all, the Song Dynasty is still a feudal society with a strict hierarchy, and some things are still deep-rooted.

Lying on the bed and covered with a quilt, Zhao Shuo forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

………………………………………………………………

Although he was full and not cold, Zhao Shuo didn't sleep well last night, and when he got up in the morning, he was still slightly sore.

"Your Highness, you're awake."

Listening to the crisp voice, Zhao Shuo opened his eyes slightly, and in front of him was Fluttershy's grinning face.

"Your Highness, we have made all those coal-soil mixtures into briquettes, and now they are placed in the courtyard, waiting for Your Highness to dispose of them." Seeing Zhao Shuo's eyes open, Fluttershy says.

Zhao Shuo knew the amount of those raw materials, and they were piled up into several mounds, filling almost the entire courtyard.

Now that Fluttershy tells him that the raw materials have been made into briquettes, Zhao Shuo can't help but wonder if these people have done this without sleeping all night.

"You didn't sleep all night?" Zhao Shuo stretched his waist and sat up.

Fluttershy grabs Zhao Shuo's arm and takes him off the bed, then folds the broken quilt.

"The slave maid and Sister Yan Wu have to take care of His Royal Highness, so they both slept for a while, as for whether Gonggong Feng and they didn't sleep all night, the slave maid doesn't know."

Zhao Shuo chuckled lightly and wanted to walk to the courtyard.

"Your Highness, wipe your face first and then go out, it's cold outside, don't stir up your face."

Fluttershy said, handing a warm white towel to Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo took it, wiped his face briefly, the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger, thinking about it, he finally felt a little like His Royal Highness.

Pushing open the door, the center of the courtyard was filled with dense briquettes, and Wang Long and Li Zhong stood on both sides. Gonggong Feng, who was sitting in the middle, was smoking a small cigarette pouch to refresh himself.

On the stove on the other side of the east wing, bursts of white gas rose up, and I don't know what Yan Wu made delicious today.

"Your Highness! Your Highness is up. Gonggong Feng hurriedly knocked out the cigarette pouch and ran towards Zhao Shuo.

After arriving at Zhao Shuo's side, he didn't forget to reprimand Fluttershy quietly. "Your Highness come out, why don't you remind me, you little girl, I owe the old slave so much to love you."

After saying Fluttershy, Grandpa Feng said to Zhao Shuo with a smile on his face. "Your Highness, this time we have learned the lesson of the last time, after these briquettes are ready, none of them have moved, just waiting for His Highness's orders!"

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly. "I am very satisfied and relieved with what you have done this time. You've all worked hard, so let's have breakfast first. We talked as we ate. ”

Zhao Shuo said, and took the lead to walk to the stove on the edge of the east wing. "Yan Wu, is there anything delicious today? The fish you made yesterday was really amazing, and I'm still nostalgic for that fragrance. ”

"Your Highness Xie compliments." Yan Wu first saluted, and then showed a somewhat aggrieved look. "But that could only have been yesterday."

When Zhao Shuo heard her say this, he immediately had a bad premonition. "No, it's still the unknown bitter leaf soup today."

"Your Highness, there is no way for the slave maid. It's just one fish, six people eat it, and there are no bones left, so we can only eat this one today. ”

Yan Wu said, lifting the lid of the pot, revealing the pot of clear soup with unknown leaves floating in it.

Zhao Shuo held his head with his hand, and the smell of fish had already dissipated, and the disgusting taste of bitterness and garbage came out of his mind again.

"Well, I ate a lot yesterday, and I'm not hungry in the morning, so you can eat first." Zhao Shuo took a few steps back.

"We're not hungry either." Wang Lung and Li Zhong, who had just come over, also waved their hands again and again, obviously 'frightened' by the taste of the soup.

"Your Highness, the old slave is not hungry." Gonggong Feng walked to Zhao Shuo's side. "What is Your Highness going to do with these briquettes?"

At this time, Wang Long and Li Zhong also came over.

"Do you think my cooking is not delicious?" Everyone didn't eat it, and Yan Wu was unhappy.

"Yan Wu's craftsmanship is the best in the world, how can you do this." Zhao Shuo took a few steps back. "You each have a bowl of soup, and you're tired all night, so you have to eat some first. After eating, I will arrange for you to work for today. ”

"Your Highness......" Gonggong Feng, Wang Long, and Li Zhong all showed embarrassed expressions.

"After the soup in the morning, let's continue to eat meat in the evening. If the three of you don't drink it, the meat for the night will be gone. Zhao Shuo chuckled.

When the three of them heard this, they immediately ran to the stove, each picked up a bowl, pinched their noses and drank it.

"Gonggong Feng, after the Jin soldiers retreated, who was managing Lin'an?" Zhao Shuo asked Gonggong Feng, who returned to his side after drinking the bitter soup.

"The previous Fu Yin disappeared after Jin Bing came, and now who is managing Lin'an, the old slave really doesn't know." Gonggong Feng showed a look of embarrassment. "If His Highness has something to do with this person, the old slave will go and inquire."

"Hey~, listen to me." Zhao Shuo stopped Gonggong Feng, who was leaving. "After you go and find out, give him some briquettes, and say I want to befriend him."

"This~," Gonggong Feng was a little embarrassed.

"Go ahead, this matter is very important, and it must be done well." Zhao Shuo patted Gonggong Feng on the shoulder.

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

After Gonggong Feng left, Zhao Shuo called Wang Long and Li Zhong to his side.

"The two of you, each of you takes five briquettes, and after you go out, you only look for a big restaurant, a technical institute, or a rich and powerful family, and if you want to buy a briquette for a penny, let them send someone to come here with the silver."

"W-is this going to work? Wang Lung looked embarrassed, it was the first time he had heard of such a sale.

"You just say it's for heating, and then show them how to light it. If they weren't fools, they would naturally come here on their own. Zhao Shuo said confidently.

"Yes." Although they were still a little skeptical, Wang Long and Li Zhong still went out to promote it honestly.

"Yan Wu, your handwriting is good, I don't know how to count." Zhao Shuo looked at Yan Wu who was picking up the stove again.

"Your Highness, what do you want the slave to do?" Yan Wu showed a nervous expression.

"After a while, you are in charge of bookkeeping here, that is, which family, how many briquettes were bought, and how much money was paid."

After saying that, Zhao Shuo looks at Fluttershy again. "Fluttershy, give you a good errand, and count the money in a moment."

After arranging everything, Zhao Shuo left two maids who opened their mouths slightly and were surprised, and went back to the house alone to continue to catch up on sleep.

The morning passed very slowly, and the two maids sat in the middle of the courtyard, looking in the direction of the gate, but they could not see a single 'guest' who came in.

At noon, Gonggong Feng rushed back with a team of men and horses and removed one-fifth of the briquettes.

In the afternoon, the deserted courtyard suddenly became lively, and the guys from various hotels, the turtle slaves of the technical institute, and the housekeepers of the rich families poured in in an endless stream.

The briquettes in the yard were being removed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and by the time the sun was just getting westerly, they were all sold out.

Later, the housekeepers, turtle slaves, and men did not give up, and finally under Zhao Shuo's suggestion, these people all booked a certain amount and paid a deposit.

Everyone was gone, and the courtyard gradually returned to peace. When Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Feng Gonggong came back, they saw the picture of the two maids happily counting money.

Broken silver is already covered all over the broken tabletop, and Fluttershy can't help but say when she sees the three of them return. "Look, we have money, and we can finally make clothes and eat good things for His Highness in the future, hehe......"

Yan Wu kept shaking her head, but her face was also full of smiles. After Wang Long, Li Zhong, and Feng Gonggong were surprised, they also stepped forward to help count the money.

Zhao Shuo stood in front of the door of the main house, looking at the happy appearance of the five people, and a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
